Hash: SHA256
Package: flashplugin-nonfree
Version: 1:3.6.1+b1
I would highly appreciate a way to override the hardwired download and
gpg check in the update script. For example, I could download the new
version directly from adobe, manually verify the checksum and then use
something like
update-flashplugin-nonfree --install -f
install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz
IMHO the risk of running an out-of-date flash is higher than the risk
of a man-in-the-middle attack on a https connetion to adobe to manually
download the most recent version.
Regards
Harri

I'm not convinced that flashplugin-nonfree should support this. If you've
already manually downloaded install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz and
manually verified its checksum, then you can as well simply use
libflashplayer.so without using flashplugin-nonfree.
